Does anyone have a good political explanation for Europe's hostility to nuclear power?

Is it really just post-Fukushima nuclear concern?

There are so many pressing issues at stake - CO2 production, dependency on an increasingly aggressive foreign adversary for fuel - that it seems like there must be some logic, but I can't figure it out.

Even if wind/solar are cheaper than nuclear, it doesn't seem that they can become the only type of of energy supplied in Europe due to variability issues.
